Acid/Corrosives

We’re melting! Melting! Oh, what a world, what a world! Corrosive chemicals like acid can pose significant hazardous effects on human skin and eyes. They can damage or destroy all kinds of substances like metal, glass, and ceramics, and particularly living or organic tissue, through their chemical reactions. Ew gross! If you’re creating an acidic effect, you’ll probably need some inspirational visuals to reference. A warning that the videos below do contain graphic images.
